Review: The campaign for real, modern UKG continues unabated over at Instinct, as another crew of like-minded bassbin botherers step up with their own fresh takes on the 2-step sound. Pinder is super speedy and tight as you like with "Forever", while Instinct regular 0113 gets freaky with the subtly tripped out "Hard Lines". Zac Stanton is perhaps the stand out turn on this 12" with the absolutely surefooted and sharply soulful "Stop Tellin Me". Holloway comes in strong on the B2 though, channeling that impeccable Ghost sound for the stripped and spooky "Places To Be". Classy club gear throughout, but especially on that B side.

Review: Already in the ether since December last year, the debut album from Kodama (also known as Acid Lab) has been rousing Urban Poetry fans for several months already. Now it's even further out into the cosmos and its glacial, isolating sounds seem even more fitting for the times. Ambient in spirit, wonderfully vast in nature, the atmospheres and moods play the lead role, creating their own world regardless of tempo and style. But within those styles you'll stumble over woozy half time, you'll trip over loose-limbed UKG and fall head over heals into the vast spaces of broken techno littered throughout. A truly impressive and immersive piece of work.
